I talk to Cara about her recovery in a time where information and resources were limited, her personal commitment to natural healing, writing, advocacy and coping with post recovery trauma. Cara is a real inspiration and has been a leading contributor to raising awareness and providing support to sufferers throughout her own journey. We hope this episode fills you with confidence and positivity about your body’s own ability to heal.

Marvin Rapaport MD is widely accepted as a leading physician in Topical Steroid Withdrawal. In 1978 he established the contact and photo dermatitis clinic at UCLA and identified TSA and TSW as a consequence of topical steroid use. He has dedicated his life’s work to raising awareness of the condition and preventing needless suffering. He has written and contributed to numerous white papers on the subject, treating thousands of patients in his Beverly Hills, CA, clinic and online and has acted as the driving force behind the Skin on Fire documentary, produced by PCH Films. It was an absolute honour to speak to Dr Rapaport about all things TSW and his continuing work to ensure the condition is widely accepted.   Disclaimer: This show does not constitute personal medical advice and you should always seek the advice and guidance of your own general practioner or doctor on your health.   Dr Rapaport Clinic and Virtual Consultations https://red-skin-syndrome.com/red-skin-syndrome-information/ Skin on Fire documentary https://youtu.be/GuaBbsL1qKA White papers on TSW https://red-skin-syndrome.com/white-paper-on-steroid-addiction/
